What I'm listening to today: "Can You Feel", Torchkas (Namco WSG remix by Abstract 64)
The sound chip in the "Pac Man" arcade cabinets turns out to be a really fascinating piece of engineering, a 4-bit wavetable synth like the tiniest, cheapest Korg Wavestation.
Covering a vaporwave chiptune originally for SNES, A64 makes a song using only the "Pac-Man" waveforms and a WSG emulator, and it's *so* evocative. Definitely the best song I've ever heard to sample "Pac-Man".
